I have the SCART and the Component terminal boards. I have a Sony freeview box connected to the SCART, while my Bose Lifestyle 28 DVD system is connected to the component board. The Bose system also handles the audio from the Sony box.

I've read that the SCART can appear "soft", but it looks great to me.

The only issue I have is nothing to do with this particular screen, and I had been warned about - that when I watch VHS tapes (from my ordinary, composite-only VCR) I notice the quality isn't as good. With my old (standard CRT) telly, I couldn't tell the difference when I watched a recording.

I think I'll have to improve my recording capability - either by adding a DVD recorder or a hard disk recorder. I did think about the Pace "twin" freeview box/recorder, but was scared off by reports of bugs etc (I think mostly these are fixed).

which suggested getting the panasonic pwd6 instead , i really dont know a good website where to look up prices but i checked out www.shopping.com which gave me a pretty good idea
on that site a pwd6 is around $3,000, that is about $2,000 cheaper for a better TV....

this seems a little confusing as $2000 is a big difference, am i getting the models mixed up or did I get everything right?

The only change I made to the picture setting was to change it from the default "normal" to "auto" - "Automatically selects the mode that best suits the brightness of the environment". That seems to work pretty good. I also set the aspect on the SCART input (Freeview) to Auto. But I've only had it a few days, and would also be interested in what settings others have found work best.
